摘要:
The relationship between the stress null and the strain null is firstly established in step 100 with short-term tests as a function of the temperature T. In steps 101 to 104, a Findley model is extended in such a way as to obtain a relationship between the strain null and the stress null as a function of the time t and the temperature T. The two models are combined in steps 105 and 106, so as to obtain overall a relationship between the stress null and the strain null as a function of the time t and the temperature T.

The invention relates to a force transducer, which is inserted into a small boring inside a test object and which, inside the boring, can measure the elastic extensions caused by the surrounding stress matrix. The force transducer is provided in two parts consisting of an outer part and of an inner part. Both parts are provided with a conical inner boring or conical outer periphery in such a manner that they can be held inside the boring of the test object by a tractive force generated using any means. In order to span a large tolerance zone the measuring boring, the outer part is axially provided with multiple slits on both sides. Said outer part is provided with a polygonal shape and thereby detects the deformations to be measured not over the entire periphery, but it records these via the contacts axially oriented through the angle lines. The extension is integrated in a peripheral direction between said contacts and is transferred into the inner part provided with any type of measuring device.

A method for analyzing creep characteristic of a plastic molded substance is provided wherein the creep characteristic can be analyzed of an actual plastic molded substance having various shape and fastening conditions with high precision. The main stress value for each section of the analysis target is read out, hydrostatic stress nullm of each section is calculated from the main stress value, and the stress condition is determined to be tensile stress when nullm is positive and to be compressive stress when nullm is negative. Tensile or compressive characteristic value is assigned based on the stress condition at each section, and creep is calculated for a predetermined time period based on the characteristic value. By employing characteristic values depending on the stress conditions of each section, precision of creep characteristic analysis is greatly enhanced.

A method and apparatus for determining bulk material constants such as Poisson's ratio and the ratio of shear modulus to bulk modulus for elastomeric materials, including, but not limited to elastomers, rubbers, gels and sealants is disclosed. The bulk material properties are determined by measuring the pressure change of the elastomeric material when the elastomeric material is subjected to an applied pressure. The changes in the bulk material property due to temperature or a the addition of a diluent may also be determined. The apparatus includes a container that holds the elastomeric material. A pressure sensor is located in the container and is positioned to measure the pressure of the elastomeric material. The signal from the pressure sensor along with the applied pressure is used to determine a bulk material property such as Poisson's ratio or the ratio of shear modulus to bulk modulus for the elastomeric material.

Aged deterioration of ferromagnetic construction materials is nondestructively evaluated by applying to an evaluating material a magnetic field whose magnetic field amplitude is rather low, distinguishing various lattice defects, and quantifying them separately. A method includes obtaining a stress-strain relation in advance by a tensile test, evaluating a minor hysteresis loop (reference minor loop) while applying an applied stress (null) thereto, obtaining correlation between physical quantities for evaluating aged deterioration, obtaining a subject minor hysteresis loop (subject minor loop) by a tensile test, obtaining measured values of the physical quantities from the loop, and evaluating aged deterioration of the evaluating material from the measured values.
摘要:
A materials characterization method models dynamic, non-linear, temperature-dependent stress, strain, hysteresis, creep, and loss of elasticity at high strain, both in test samples and in Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Incorporating universal properties of statistical mechanics and adapting domain models from ferromagnetics to the higher-dimensional realm of stress tensors, the model is applicable to polymers, rubbers, liquids, and metals in elastic and plastic deformation. The model quantifies the dynamics of both plastic and brittle failure. Apparatus and methods are shown for testing material samples and matching the computational model to sample characteristics, leading to a set of characterizing parameters and predictive simulations using those parameters. Though apparatus and testing protocols of the invention yield optimum characterizations, pre-existing data from conventional testing yield useful results.
摘要:
A method for estimating the real and imaginary Young's modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio of a specimen at an excitation frequency. The specimen is first joined to a reciprocating test apparatus at one end with a mass positioned at the other end. The test apparatus reciprocates at the excitation frequency and accelerations are recorded at each end of the specimen. The Young's modulus is calculated from the recorded accelerations. The specimen is then joined to a reciprocating rotational test apparatus at one end with a rotational inertial mass positioned at the other end. Accelerations are recorded upon subjecting the specimen to rotational reciprocations at the excitation frequency. The shear modulus is calculated from these accelerations. Poisson's ration can be calculated from the Young's modulus and the shear modulus at the excitation frequency. All of the calculations may be performed giving both real and imaginary values.
